Out of province inspection? Obviously you must be in Canada. Do you live where they require a vehicle emissions test? If so, I'd be curious to find out how you make out. I'm in B.C. and I have to deal with the notorious Air Care mafia. I'd like to go duals, but I'm always interested to hear how other Vette owners get through the screening.

Yeh, I live in alberta and there are no emissions ***** here. No test required. I feel a little guilty as I do care about our envrionment.oh well,ill just recycle more to compensate. Im sure ill get over it. The plane ride I took to denver to buy the car probably pumped out more pollution than I will in my

Hi easy mike, thanks for the tip. I do have the original owners manual,bill of sale,and all service records to date plus about 5 service manuals but theyre all geared towards the mechanical aspect. The assembly manual sounds great.where could I find one?

Need help with the bezel removal. I have taken the 4 screws out so the top portion seems loose. The bottom of the bezel, below the radio is still tightly attached. How do I get the bottom loose? Are there screws somewhere I cannot see? Please help me!

For 78?
You need to remove the carpeted side panels from the console.
Screws are up from below.
Also don't forget the nuts under the radio *****. They may not look like nuts at first glance. they may be round with notches in them. Long nose pliers works to remove them.
